Just to be clear, a craniotomy is a surgical operation in which a bone flap is removed from the skull to access the brain. One could be from a severe TBI to relieve bleeding. Four would be extremely rare. For what underlying condition did he undergo four craniotomies?
"Is this normal behavior being 14 months in?" No. "We live in a rural area and do not have any resources." If there are surgeons available to perform four craniotomy procedures my guess is there are some PhD level psychologists that can do an assessment, Best to you all

What Happened: On November 29, 2010, I was walking across the street and was hit by a light rail commuter train. Result was a severe traumatic brain injury and multiple fractures (skull, pelvis, ribs). Total hospital stay was two months, one in ICU followed by an additional month in neuro-rehab. Upon hospital discharge, neurological testing revealed deficits in short term memory, executive functioning, and spatial recognition. Today: Neuropsychological examination five months post-accident indicated a return to normal cognitive functioning, and I returned to work approximately 6 months after the accident. I am grateful to be alive and am looking forward to enjoying the rest of my life. |
